Off-campus Learning

A Science degree can be studied either on-campus or in the off-campus mode.

There is also a flexibility of study modes allowing all students the opportunity to study some off-campus units.

Reasons to study a Science degree off-campus

Graduate stories.

How Science is offered in this mode

The School of Applied Sciences and Engineering provides the off-campus courses for Monash Science and has extensive experience in flexible course delivery, working in conjunction with the University's Centre for Learning and Teaching Support.

  • Specially structured learning materials are in both electronic and print-based forms
  • Subject advisers trained and experienced in teaching by this mode and can be contacted by e-mail, telephone phone and fax
  • In experimental science subjects, laboratory activities at first level may be completed using specially designed home experiment kits
  • Intensive residential schools are run each semester over 3 to 5 days in laboratories with academic and technical staff. Students learn alongside other students from around Australia and overseas
  • The standard completion time for a single degree is six years
  • Exams are held at centres all over Australia.

Off-campus courses

These double degrees are offered in conjunction with other faculties

When to consider off-campus flexibility in an on-campus science program

  • To assist the balance between work and study commitments
  • To take an elective unit that is not offered on-campus, or offered in a particular year
  • As an option to help issues related to study load
